Overview
- Thomas More Society sent a demand giving the Westwood Regional School District 20 days to repeal Policy 5756 or face a lawsuit.
- The group says the policy lets staff withhold a student's asserted gender identity from parents and support a social transition without parental notice.
- The letter cites the Supreme Court’s emergency action in Mirabelli v. Bonta, which revived a trial-court injunction against a similar California rule while the case continues.
- District leaders say they are reviewing the policy with counsel, with no new lawsuit filed.
- The push reflects a broader strategy following recent Supreme Court moves, including United States v. Skrmetti, that supporters believe favor parental-rights challenges to school disclosure rules.
